“Maybe you can’t buy love, but you can buy a job. Franklin Delano Roosevelt did it with the Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression. And the $787 billion stimulus package passed in February created jobs to relieve what is now 10.2 percent unemployment. Both came at the cost of taxpayer dollars. Now, as labor and business leaders, economists and politicians gather Dec. 3 for President Obama’s Jobs Summit, some are calling for a second stimulus. … There are ways to create jobs that taxpayers don’t need to buy. One is to enforce and strengthen trade policy.” (12/04/09) Link: http://tinyurl.com/yfxkcqo Filed under: PND Commentary and RRND Commentary | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
